Founded in 1960 by brothers Peppino and Federico Corneli, the restaurant continues to uphold the same authentic recipes passed down through generations. A true family business, it is now proudly run by the new generation — Nicola, Pina, and Alex Corneli, together with Chef Joe Nicodemo. Our homemade pasta, hand-crafted by Nonna Donna, remains the heart and soul of our cuisine. And of course, our pizza baked in an oven imported from Italy delivers that traditional taste we’re famous for.

Corneli's Laval absolutely exceeded all expectations for my daughter's confirmation today. From the moment we walked in, we were treated like family. Sonia & Stephanie gave us truly impeccable service; attentive, kind, professional, & always making sure every detail was perfect. Joe & Alex, what a joy to deal with. So patient with me & my constant emailing! 😊
The food? Incredible. Everything was delicious, the pizza, pasta! but the arancini… WOW. To die for. Authentic, flavorful, & honestly some of the best we've ever had.
Thank you to the entire team for making such an important day so special & stress-free for our family. We will absolutely be back. Highly recommend for any special occasion… or honestly just for an amazing meal! ❤?
Had a wonderful supper with the family. The service was quick & the servers were very friendly & attentive. I loved the pasta plate & pizza. It was a great experience. Highly recommend this genuine Italian restaurant.
Corneli has honestly become my go-to place for pizza. The moment you walk in, you feel this warm, welcoming vibe - the space is beautiful, cozy, & surprisingly large, with lots of different seating options depending on your mood.
But the real highlight is the pizza. It's consistently amazing - both in quality & price. & the portions? Very generous. I actually eat a lot, but I still end up with 2 or 3 slices left every time 😄
I still remember that first bite… & that feeling hasn't changed. It's one of those places that genuinely makes you happy.
I've tried other pizza spots in Montreal & Laval, but I've often been disappointed, which is why I keep coming back here. Corneli is easily one of the best.
Highly recommended if you're looking for great pizza, big portions, & a warm, inviting atmosphere.

The restaurant is very clean & well-organized. The parking lot was a bit limited due to how busy the restaurant was, but it was still manageable.
